5 bedroom country house for sale

Spanning 4,284 sq ft, this wonderful home sits at the end of a private road, set within just over five acres of rolling Oxfordshire countryside. The main house provides well-considered accommodation over two floors. The ground floor comprises a large eat-in kitchen with an adjacent utility, a formal dining room, and a drawing room with a bay window and open fireplace. A cosy snug with a woodburning stove sits nearby, alongside a boot room/gym, a bathroom, and an outside cloakroom. Below, there’s a large traditional wine cellar and generous store rooms. An oak-framed carport provides covered parking for two large cars, with a versatile space above – currently serving as a home office but plumbed and ready to be converted into an en suite bedroom. A collection of further stone outbuildings completes the picture, one of which benefits from planning permission to become a self-contained one bedroom annexe. Set within about 5.1 acres, the grounds encompass formal gardens, a dining terrace, a paddock laid to grass, and a charming woodland through which a brook runs along the lower boundary. Cardwell House is located on the outskirts of one of Oxfordshire's most desirable villages. Chipping Norton, Woodstock, and Soho Farmhouse are all within easy reach, along with wonderful pubs and excellent schools. London is within easy reach, approximately two hours by car or from one hour two minutes from Banbury train station. The property is offered unlisted and chain free.
